Strapwork Pendant with Two Square Tablestonesas Earrings at Left and Right 

This is a drawing of a Strapwork Pendant with Two Square Tablestones as Earrings at Left and Right by Daniel Mignot. Note how the artwork plays with symmetry and asymmetry. The central pendant serves as a focal point with its complex filigree. While the pendant itself strives for symmetry, the ribbons at the top introduce a playful asymmetry. Their curves and loops contrast with the geometric exactness of the pendant. The earrings, positioned on either side, mirror each other in shape and size, yet their detailed execution varies slightly. This subtle deviation encourages a closer look. The artist uses line and space, creating an intricate web. The play of light and shadow gives depth to the flat surface, and the use of negative space is essential to create a balanced composition. The artwork invites us to consider how decorative arts function within broader social and cultural contexts.
